asterisk users - Jan 2005 - Newb howto request: *, Voice Pulse Connect, & SJPhone

I have been picking at Asterisk for about a week, and I think I'm close. I
was hoping for a little guidance to bring this on home.

I want to be able to make outgoing calls from my SJPhone clients using my
VoicePulse Connect account. I have the two requisite items from Voice Pulse,
but I've had no luck successfully integrating the VoicePulse settings into
iax.conf.

My current config:

Asterisk at Home (vanilla install, except I added the two SJPhone clients
and extensions)
No FXO/FXS modules
Two SJPhone clients. Clients can dial one another using the Asterisk proxy,
so I think they're properly configured.

Can anyone out there explain how to successfully integrate my Voice Pulse
Connect account into this config so the clients can make outbound calls? I
tried using the sample configs provided by VoicePulse (after making the
required edits), but to no avail. I have reverted back to the * At Home
configs.

Thanks for any info.

First stop if you haven't already check out http://www.voip-info.org
there is info on how to do just about everything.  VPconnect should
have a short setup doc, follow it completely for setting up your
iax.conf.  If i remember correctly they cover the extensions.conf
setup too.  to dial outbound, you need to have some type of outbound
dialplan in extensions.conf for example:

[outgoing]

exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,1,SetCallerID(xxxxxxxxxx)
exten => _1NXXNXXXXXX,2,SetCIDName(john doe)
exten =>
_1NXXNXXXXXX,3,Dial(IAX2/account:password@gwiaxt01.voicepulse.com/${EXTEN})
exten =>
_1NXXNXXXXXX,104,Dial(IAX2/account:password@gwiaxt02.voicepulse.com/${EXTEN})

make sure your sjphone's iax.conf config has access to the outbound
context..
